gittato mi sarei per rinfrescarmi, 50 straight into molten glass to cool myself,
 
tant' era ivi lo 'ncendio sanza metro. 51 so beyond measure was the burning there,
 
    Lo dolce padre mio, per confortarmi, 52 and my sweet father, to comfort me,
 
pur di Beatrice ragionando andava, 53 kept speaking of Beatrice as he went,
 
dicendo: "Li occhi suoi già veder parmi." 54 saying: 'Even now I can almost see her eyes.'
 
    Guidavaci una voce che cantava 55 Guiding us was a voice that sang beyond the flame.
 
di là; e noi, attenti pur a lei, 56 We gave it our rapt attention,
 
venimmo fuor là ove si montava. 57 and came forth from the fire where the ascent began.
 
    "Venite, benedicti Patris mei," 58 'Venite, benedicti Patris mei' resounded
 
sonò dentro a un lume che lì era, 59 from a dazzling light that blinded me
 
tal che mi vinse e guardar nol potei. 60 so that I could not bear to look.
 
    "Lo sol sen va," soggiunse, "e vien la sera; 61 'The sun departs and evening comes,'
 
non v'arrestate, ma studiate il passo, 62 it continued, 'do not stop, but hurry on
 
mentre che l'occidente non si annera." 63 before the west grows dark.'
 
    Dritta salia la via per entro 'l sasso 64 The way went straight up through the rock
